Paid a bod yn dwp Posted March 18, 2021 Share Posted March 18, 2021 Hey if you need any manic fans to give it the once over before going to print you know where to find us. Happily buy now, if it’s of help. That’s looks AMAZING! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jape_Vicho Posted March 18, 2021 Share Posted March 18, 2021 (edited) Curiously one of the pregens is called Yanioth Vareena's Daughter, yet doesn't look at all like her... I'm intrigued. Edited March 18, 2021 by Jape_Vicho 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beoferret Posted March 18, 2021 Share Posted March 18, 2021 This looks great! I am ridiculously excited about this and am planning to buy several copies (for distributing to friends who prove themselves worthy). So, since no one else has asked yet: 1) Where's it gettin' printed? 2) And, if everything went completely smoothly with the printing, assembling, and the shipping of crates to key distribution centers, how long might one predict the rest of the process to take? We still a couple of months out from being able to give Chaosium our money? My clacks and lunars are getting restless...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So probably should expect similar timeframe. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scornado Posted March 18, 2021 Share Posted March 18, 2021 I am wondering how much value it will have to an already started campaign with established characters - hopefully enough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You'll probably be able to use the maps, handouts, and adventures at least, and maybe the rules booklet will be good as a quick reference for some things.

A quote from @Jason D: Quote We had several main goals with this product, but one of them was to make sure it had value to our already-established player base. Too many starter sets are throwaway items or are of no use to veteran players. Not this one. 3 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those of us who follow the broader industry know this, are darn sick of this practice, and are absolutely delighted that Chaosium is challenging this rancid status quo. As I Tweeted earlier today on this topic: Chaosium makes products truly by Gamers for Gamers. Not by a board room. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Starter set retails for $29.99. That's less than the cost of the Pegasus Plateau book. The Soloquest is new, and all of the adventures in book 4 are easily used for an existing campaign. A set of 6 dice, the rules, references, and the maps are all easily usable try all. That seems worth $29.99 to me. 3 2 Quote Hope that Helps,Rick Meints - Chaosium, Inc.

Not by a board room. I suspect that most games companies are the same, maybe not the very biggest, but most of the hundreds of games companies are small operations driven by love and good intentions. The difference is that most gamers are not good at business, and can't see beyond their own personal needs to generalise to what works for a broader base. I'd love to be running a game company and producing fun content but I know I'd be terrible at it.

Starcarr Posted March 19, 2021 Share Posted March 19, 2021 Omg, this looks amazing. Any hints about what’s going on with The Rainbow Mounds? Love the colours added to Rainbow Mounds map but it’s a shame people won’t be colouring it in themselves, like we all had to, to solve the mystery of the spectrum emanating adamantine pillar!

That could be the GM version? It wouldn't surprise me if there weren't two copies, one blank... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
